panicum gilvum/proline

Understanding the regulation of proline metabolism necessitates the suppression of two Δ₁-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase enzyme (P5CS) genes performed in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). The results reveal that overexpressing PvP5CS1 and PvP5CS2

UNASSIGNED Genetic improvement through overexpressing PuP5CS in switchgrass is feasible for enhancing plant salt stress tolerance. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has developed into a dedicated bioenergy crop. To improve the biomass production of switchgrass grown on different types of soil,

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is targeted as a biofuel feedstock species that may be grown on marginal lands including those with saline soils. Our study investigated salt stress responses in 46 switchgrass lines from the lowland and upland ecotypes by assessing physiological phenotypes and proline

In plants, Δ1-pyrroline- 5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) is the rate-limiting enzyme in proline biosynthesis. In this study, we introduced the LpP5CS (Lolium perenne L.) gene into switchgrass by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The transgenic lines (TG) were classified into two groups based on

Dehydration responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factors play an important role in the regulation of stress-related genes. These factors contribute to resistance to different abiotic stresses. In the present study, a novel DREB transcription factor, BdDREB2, isolated from Buchloe

In order to grow and effectively uptake and accumulate cadmium (Cd), plants used for phytoextraction have to cope with toxicity, which may be influenced by the supply of nitrate (NO₃p>-p>) and ammonium (NH₄p>+p>). Thus, we evaluated the effect of these nitrogen

Various nitrate and ammonium proportions (NO₃p>-p>/NH₄p>+p>) in the growth media can increase metal phytoextraction compared to supplying solely NO₃p>-p>. However, there are no studies showing these effects in plants under copper (Cu)

The effects of salt-alkaline mixed stress on switchgrass were investigated by evaluating seed germination and the proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble sugar contents in three switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) cultivars in order to identify which can be successfully produced on marginal lands

PvArf regulate proline biosynthesis by physically interacting with PvP5CS1 to improve salt tolerance in switchgrass. The genetic factors that contribute to stress resiliency are yet to be determined. Here, we identified three ADP-ribosylation factors, PvArf1, PvArf-B1C, and PvArf-related, which

Panicum hallii Vasey (Hall's panicgrass) is a compact, perennial C4 grass in the family Poaceae, which has potential to enable bioenergy research for switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). Unlike P. hallii, switchgrass has a large genome, allopolyploidy, self-incompatibility, a long life cycle, and

Soil salinization is a major factor limiting crop growth and development in many areas. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is an important warm-season grass species used for biofuel production. The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant metabolism, proline,and protein variation

Artemisia sieberi alba is one of the important plants frequently encountered by the combined effect of drought and heat stress. In the present study, we investigated the individual and combined effect of drought and heat stress on growth, photosynthesis, oxidative damage, and gene expression

Drought stress is one of the abiotic stresses and it may alter plant growth, metabolism and yield. The present study aims to analyze the growth, chlorophyll pigments, osmotic adjustment and antioxidative enzymes activity in Panicum sumatrense under drought stress. The control was irrigated daily and

UNASSIGNED Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a model biofuel plant because of its high biomass, cellulose-richness, easy degradation to ethanol, and the availability of extensive genomic information. However, a little is currently known about the molecular responses of switchgrass plants to

Class III peroxidases (CIIIPRX) catalyze the oxidation of monolignols, generate radicals, and ultimately lead to the formation of lignin. In general, CIIIPRX genes encode a large number of isozymes with ranges of in vitro substrate specificities. In order to elucidate the mode of substrate
